Vol. No. XXXXV: Matters of the Heart

 

Don’t you wish everything in life could be solved by plugging a number into a formula and solving for the answer?  Maybe it’s just my engineering brain trying to process, but it seems that if Pi will always be approximately 3.14593 and water will always freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, then why can’t we get any guarantees or assurances in love and relationships?  The truth is, for matters of the heart, there are no set constants.  There are no formulas, no rules.  There is no roadmap, no blueprint.  Unfortunately there is no tried and true steadfast way to travel down the path of love unscathed and untouched.

 

This is partly because in relationships there are always so many competing factors that generate a multitude of questions.  My favorite is the struggle between mind and heart, emotion and logic.  Which should we allow to lead us and at what point does one take over the other?  How much does love play in your decision to choose a mate?  Or do you choose someone based on how well you work together as a team or because that person would make a good life partner?  And does this change as you get older?  Does this change when you start having fewer options or maybe when you start having more options?  And why does it always seem like real love happens too late?  Why don’t people recognize what they have when they have it?   And if you can no longer have who you really love or who you really want, do you settle?  How do you know when to fight and when to let go?  How does your stage in life with school, work, location etc. affect your relationships?  And why in the world is timing ALWAYS off?  

 

How should we navigate through these questions?  How do you handle matters of the heart?  Everyone is quick to offer advice, but really… nobody knows.  All advice is based on individual experiences which are never identical to your own so how valid can someone else’s advice be to you and your situation?  If you’re anything like me, you’ve heard it all – Lead with your mind, not your heart, you can learn to love later.  No, no, follow your heart, the heart will always win, so don’t try to fight it.  Always do what makes you happy, and you’ll never go wrong.  And don’t get me started on the conversations about the importance of knowing the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone.  I could write a whole article on just that!  And just when you thought you had it figured out, just when you had everything planned, just when you had adopted a motto or a method that worked well for you in this love game, life throws you a curve ball and you’re back to square one.

 

Rest assured that at the end of the day all you can do is make the best decision for yourself with the information you have on hand.  So let me assist, if I may, with sharing my so-called formula for love that works for me (at least as of March 16, 2010 at 6:36 AM CST).  The foundation of my formula would start with friendship, which in itself is a summation of laughter, acceptance, and effortless communication.  I would then multiply this friendship by honesty and trust which exponentially strengthen the foundation.  Add in a bit of sacrifice and a whole lot of patience and subtract out all traces of selfishness and fear.  Then divide that whole base by faith, because without faith all of other parts of the formula would be null and void.  I would encourage you to do the same for yourself.  Develop a formula that caters to you, something that can adjust and adapt with time, and something that is based off your experiences and your values.  

 

Once you develop your formula, please remember this:  Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life –Proverbs 4:23.  Meaning your heart is the source of all life, it is the derivation of all things, it is where everything begins.  Do you realize how sacred that is?  If we truly understood how precious our hearts are, we would regard them, we would cherish them and we would protect them always.  Remember that at the end of the day, we will be judged on matters of the heart, not on matters of the mind.  Your intellect and number of degrees won’t matter if you can’t navigate through the relationships of life.  So let’s learn how to love one another better, one formula at a time.

Enjoy!

Valerie
